How do you clean it? I love this for grating but cleaning it is a pain, especially if I let it dry while eating dinner. Thank you.

I just rinse it off as soon as I've finished grating, and it cleans up in a snap.

This is one of those tools where it takes five seconds to clean if you do it immediately and five minutes to clean if you wait. Once stuff is caked on, I would boil water in a small pot, remove from the heat, then submerge this thing in it for a while. It should then fall off with less trouble.

Clean it with vinegar and water and it should clean pretty well. Hope this helps:):):)

I'm about to purchase this, and I'll share the same cleaning method on it as I do my george foreman grill... when done, unplug it, and while still hot, wet a couple of paper towels, loosely wring them out so they won't drip, lay them over the open grill, then close it ... it'll 'steam clean' itself, & when you're done eating, open it back up again & use the paper towels to complete the wipe & clean process before storing.

Thats not good! We bought it and have used it a lot - and no problems. If you got it from Amazon, have you contacted them first to see it you go through them or Weber? Have you cleaned it off with a brush? Maybe its clogged.

I wipe it down daily with a paper towel and rinse it thoroughly. Once a week I use a vinegar and water mix and let it sit for 20 minutes per the instructions. Some places are very hard to clean. I'm looking into getting another one for that reason.

It cleans ok. I sprayed with veg oil first. that helped. ring around the middle at the top of the liquid was a little harder to clean. wish I had ordered it with the non stick liner. still may do that yet. if you have the option, order with the non stick insert.

It's not bad to clean. I just rinse it and wipe it quickly with a sponge. I only use it for protein so it kinda has a lingering smell of protein but it's better than over washing it. Don't do that because it battery powered and it might mess it up. The bottom that covers the batteries is pretty tight though so quick rinses shouldn't mess it up. I use mine everyday twice a day and it still works great after about 2-3 months.

I havent cleaned it yet-i am not sure there is any cleaning. It gets very hot and the steam gets through tough creases. I love this iton, i would be surprised if there is a better one!

I find it great to grind a lot at once because I find the cleaning tedious. I see some people put theirs in the dishwasher but I thought that wasn't recommended so I hand wash then towel dry and use the food grade silicone before reassembling.

I clean it as I do any other of my pans with dawn dish soap and a plastic scrubber. It cleans up really well. If food is baked on the bottom add vinegar to the warm pan to deglaze. It comes right off.

I let it air dry on the counter. A few times I've shaken it dry in the sink when I have wanted to get it out of site. I've also put it on the top rack of my dishwasher when it needed to be cleaned.

I use my dehydrator to make beef jerky from roasts. As I finish with a tray I stick them in the sink to soak as the jerky really sticks badly to the tray. When I am finished with all of the trays, I rub them gently with a sponge and then they go through a dishwasher cycle. I don't see any problems with that process, but the grills of the trays do seem to get brittle with a lot of use. Whether from the drying process or the dishwasher, I am not sure. I have started purchasing the non-stick pads that go on top of the trays to reduce my "sticky" problem. I really like the motor/blower on top. A friend lent me her machine that had the motor/blower on the bottom and it was impossible to clean this area. I use my dehydrator to make beef jerky from roasts.

you must be using it incorrectly. I've used it a hell of a lot more and it works very well. Just remember to fill with water and turn the flow valve prior too trying to attempting the clean the grates.

I clean it with a wet paper towel with a tiny bit of soap & then go over it again with a plain wet paper towel. Using a sponge would only deposit germs to it. I also bought the mineral oil to use on the surface. I do the mineral oil rub down on the cutting board once a month. I've had it for months now & it is still as gorgeous as when I first got it. & I use it every single day.

I haven't had a problem with cleaning it. I rinse it right after I use it. Try letting it sit in hot water and then spin it
